The “European Action Plan for biological agriculture and biological foods” is now in operation. Presented by the European Commission during the Council of Ministers of Agriculture this week, the Plan – listing 21 actions to be realised within the next two years – is based on four main planks: improvement of information, increased effectiveness of public support to the sector, boosting research and reinforcing provisions to regulate production, importation and controls.
